Crazy Talk and Sometimes Socks
Here’s the only unfortunate part of NaNoWriMo. For the month of November I’ll be focused in adding 1700 words to Project Amulet on a daily basis. That doesn’t leave me a lot of time to figure out what to say about my socks. Today I wore Punisher socks. See, coz I’m gonna punish* anyone who … Continue reading Punishing for NaNoWriMo
Remember back in the “Good Ol’ Days”, the halcyon, glory-tinged days of yestermonth, when I actually managed to post more than just a short poem and a dredging up of old short fiction? Like, when I wrote posts about topics. Yeah, last month truly was the Golden Age for blogging. Take comfort, though! Thing are … Continue reading A sad and yet happy farewell to NaNoWriMo 2013.

How are these things related? They’re really not. They’re wholly independent. But! … Continue reading Thoughts in advance of NaNoWriMo 2013

November, thankfully, ran its course and finally had the common decency to expire like that milk you weren’t sure about anyway, or the tags on your car. And while the end of the eleventh month obviously means that another jingle bell-ridden, egg-nog inebriated, green-and-red-tinsled Christmas season is upon us, the more immediate point is that … Continue reading 10 Things I Learned Doing NaNoWriMo
*tap* *tap* Is this thing on? Check. Check 1. Check 1-2. Chuck. Chuck Toast. So, um, hello! In case you don’t seem to know me, or in the more likely case just can’t remember me, I’m Puddin. I mostly do all the nonsense rambling around here. Well, at least I used to. I’m sure you … Continue reading A Triumphant Return to Blogging (or…blinking in the sunlight after a month of NaNoWriMo)
There once was on a NaNo-ing word-monkey whose Thanksgiving was clearly quite lovely. But when they’d devoured all the bird, t’was time to write catch-up words, or his novel’d be cooked like his turkey!
[Not sure what I’m talking about with this whole NaNoWriMo thing? That’s National Novel Writing Month, a fun nerve-wracking game delusional writers (including me, apparently) like to play in November. You can get more information here, and hey, why not check out my first post on the subject?] Dear Your Name Goes Here, By the … Continue reading An open letter to friends, family, and loved ones at the start of NaNoWriMo
No, you don’t have to say Gesundheit. NaNoWriMo (typically pronounced “nan-o-ri-mo”, or by occasionally “nan-o-ree-mo”) is kind of an abbreviation for National Novel Writing Month. Although, really, I though abbreviations are supposed to be, you know, short. But whatever, I’m not going to nit pick. So, what is this National Novel Writing Month thing? Well, … Continue reading NaNoWriMo Whoozy Whatzit Now?
The autumn wind is whipping across the battlefield as I pull my too-think jacket tight across my shoulders. It was a hard day in the trenches, and I look toward the morning with a sense of resigned duty, knowing that earning tomorrow’s respite will be no easier than gaining today’s. But that’s the struggle once … Continue reading The Old Nemesis Returns
